4-5 NWA-TNA iMPACT

Dissention still reigned in Team Cage as Tomko & NWA World Champion Christian Cate bragged about pulling a huge swerve on Team Angle. Tomko then complained about being thrown into an 8 Mile Street Fight alone that night. Cage tried to get the other members of Team Cage to agree that they would have Tomko's back, but Scott Steiner, James Mitchell & A. J. Styles all asked about the title shots they had been promised as Cage stormed off and the show began.

Team Cage attacked Kurt Angle & Samoa Joe after they came to the rescue of Rhino following the 8 Mile Street Fight. With a 5-on-2 advantage (Rhino was worn out after winning the match), Team Cage made easy work of the 2 wrestlers.

Jim Cornette had many people in his office, including NWA World X Division Champion Chris Sabin, Robert Roode, Jackie Moore & Traci Brooks, yelling at him. Cornette blew his top and said that their requests would be heard at the TNA meeting to be held later that night. Until then, they were to leave and not enter again without a written invitation. Gail Kim made a surprise attack on Jackie Moore and the 2 girls fought until they were separated by security.

Team Cage was celebrating their beatdown of Kurt Angle & Samoa Joe. Cage tried to get A. J. Styles to drink but he looked reluctant. Scott Steiner, however, had imbibed quite a bit and proclaimed that this was like when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbour. Cage suggested that they all go to a club down the street except for Abyss. He told Abyss that he nearly cost Tomko the 8 mile Street Fight and that his punishment was to stay and clean up the mess that the party had caused. Abyss began to act like he would refuse, but James Mitchell reminded him that his mom was just a phone call away from going to jail. Mitchell then left and Abyss reluctantlly accepted his fate.

Mike Tenay interviewed Sting prior to the show. He said that in all the years that he'd known Sting, he'd never seen Sting commit to someone like Abyss. Then last week, Abyss turned on Sting. Sting apologised to Abyss. He thought that by dealing with his past, it would set him free, but he had no idea about what that past actually entailed. Tenay said it sounded like Sting had given up. Sting said it felt like everything was slipping through his fingers. He said this wasn't how he wanted to go out. Tenay asked where he went from here. Sting said he has to go look at his family and tell them he failed.

Jim Cornette was in the ring with the rest of the TNA locker room outside. He said it seems some people were unclear about their role in the Lockdown PPV. He ran down the card for the PPV, then announced a match for next week. One member of Team Cage vs. one member of Team Angle. Whoever won would ge the advantage of being able to send in the first man each round in the Lethal Lockdown match. Christian Cage complained about having to be this meeting. He told Cornette that he will not be responsible for what happens to Team Angle at the PPV. Cornette asked Cage to do him a favour and shut up! He said if Cage hadn't promised title shots to all his teammates, no one would want to team with him. Cage can't fulfill those promises, either, because the champion doesn't pick who he defends again, Cornette does! Cornette then set the stipuluation that whoever makes the winning pin or submission in the Lethal Lockdown match would receive an NWA World Title shot in May a the Sacrifice PPV. Cage threw a fit. Team Cage threatened another attack on Team Angle, but the lights went out and Sting showed up to help. Team Angle cleared the ring and the assumption was that Sting had joined Team Angle as the show closed.

4-7 NWA-Universal Intense TV

NWA Universal Tag Team Champion Spoiler 2000 complained saying his partner Bash was injured in Texas while they were defending their titles. He said the NWA-U board of directors demanded that he pick a new partner or give up the belts. He refused to announce who that partner was, saying he'll let us know whe he wants to and no sooner.
